Situations like this, he added, “happen in places like Nicaragua, where last year everyone who ran against Daniel Ortega for president, every single person who put their name on the ballot, was arrested and is still in jail.”

According to The New York Times on Monday and confirmed by Trump himself, the FBI yesterday conducted a search of official documents in the Florida residence of the former president located in Palm Beach.
According to the version of the Times – one of the newspapers most critical of the former president – these documents would include, among others, classified material that Trump would have taken with him from the White House.
“Sending 30 FBI agents on a raid like this for one purpose: That is to try to politically harm and intimidate their political opponents. That’s what this is all about,” added Rubio, who said the situation is “dangerous” because “someone else will be in power one day, and now you’ve created the precedent for them to do this back to you.”
Rubio called Attorney General Merrick Garland and FBI Director General Christopher Wray to account “for going along to something so undemocratic, unconstitutional and completely destructive and dangerous to our Republic.”
In a statement released after learning of the raid, the Republican National Committee (RNC) added that “Countless times we have examples of Democrats flouting the law and abusing power with no recourse.”
“Democrats continually weaponize the bureaucracy against Republicans. This raid is outrageous. This abuse of power must stop and the only way to do that is to elect Republicans in November.” argued committee chair Ronna McDaniel.
